This is a great story that got me hooked! I wonder what else is on that wonderful Journal...

Interesting story, looking forward to reading more of it.

Wow, what a wonderful ending to this chapter, can't wait for the next update.

I love the Professors Journal, very insightful.

This is very well written, and I can't wait to read more.

I can definitely see her having feelings of guilt.  She's getting closer. 

A variant of the Draught of Living Death perhaps? Is that what he was looking for? It does make sense. Did Hermione learn the juicing technique from the HBP's textbook in Sixth Year? It's all I can think of since Severus was not teaching Potions that year and I can't see Slughorn exerting himself. ^_^

Very moving, and I look for forward to the progression of the plot.  Your words are clean, and precise with an extraordinary descriptive value.  I patientlyawait your next addition.Thank you for sharing~

Powerful chapter!  Snape's thoughts on what he presumed was his last day were very poignant.

very good.  I look forward to reading more!

I can see Neville as all well-meaning and enthusiastic... and as boring as watching paint dry when he waxes poetic about Herbology. :)

What, none of their teachers in the last five years have called them dunderheads? Obviously Snape was a bad influence on Hermione! :D

Shame on me for opening this up during work.  It was still riveting, even with breaks in between.

I like the direction this is going. It's interesting to see the journal entries from important times in the Harry Potter universal timeline. I hope this project will be completed eventually, as I'd like to see what happens down the road.

Wow! Just Wow.

Interesting. ^_^

ooh, I like it.  Poor Snape.  When I read the last book I read it very quickly over a weekend and cried quite a bit.  My daughter has been teasing me a bit this week remembering that I came to the dinner table crying.  Except I think I'd have been fine if my husband hadn't started talking to me about the book.  For some reason finding out about the form of Snape's patronus just messed me up.  I knew it was coming.  I knew from the moment I read the chapter in book five about Snape's worst memory.  Anyway, I look forward to reading more of your story.

Aha, a little Shakespearian clue! :)

This is a lovely story and I think you managed to get your vision on the page.

This long after a story has been completed I hesitate to mention this but Snape and Hermione being in love seemed a little rushed to me. I know she was falling in love via the journal but I think it would have worked better for me if  more dream interactions had been shown -- not just searching for the cure but glimpses of the life Snape wants.


Author's Response: Thank you so much for taking the time to review my tale.  It has been almost 9 years since I created this fic and I absolutely can see your point.  There were multiple factors involved with how the story progressed and where we ended up in the end.  Thanks again for reading! ~ Brena

Lovely story ! Thank you for the great reading piece !

Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading & reaching out!  It means so much to me that this story is still generating enjoyment for the fandom! <3

I loved this story, it was fluffy but with a decent amount of angst too. The first few chapters in particular were great, but I found Severus to be a little OOC once he woke up. I wanted there to be a bit more angst/drama/sexual tension when he awoke, but that's probably just me! Something else that bothered me (and quite likely, ONLY me!) was your many Americanisms. They didn't drive me mad, I just kept noticing them and they'd take me out of the story a bit. If you ever want/need a Brit-picker, just drop me a line! I'm going to go read the rest of your focus now, apologies for the sheer length of this review! x

Author's Response: Good Evening FabGabW ~ Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review with your thoughts.  Even though you had some trouble with it, I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway. It's been 7 years since I've written and at this point, I'm not sure if I'll ever get back into it.  But, if I do, I'll make sure to keep your offer in mind.  Kind Regards ~ Brena

okay - i just sucked this up in one sitting... :) Hop to it!!! LOL

Officially alive and kicking for less than a day, and already the man has plans in the works.  You've got to love him, don't you?  I think after all of that, I would want to go outside as well.  I'm glad Hermione was able to comply with his wishes.  I think they have a bright future ahead of them and I am anxious to see how this wraps up for them.   

You should just get your chapter up now. Not for my personal reasons, I'm thinking only of you :)  I don't know if you have kids yet, but if this is your first, you will be so consumed from everything baby -good and bad- that you will forget all about us for awhile.  Congrats and good luck with everything!

I can never think highly of a woman who traded a PRINCE for a mere Potter *sniffs*. Now the sleeper has literally awakened, he can kick ol' Lils memry to the curb and ride into the sunset with his TRUE LOVE , Prof. Granger!!

w00t!! frabjous, frabjous day!! so romantic. hot cocoa and marshmallows for you :)
